Joy at the NFT-machine ‘Pick a Fruit (un)wrapped’ by Maze de Boer at Art Rotterdam.
De Volkskrant
Pick a fruit is an NFT art project that combines a physical slot machine with digital blockchain technology.
To satirize the concept of gambling on slotmachines, you always win an NFT. However, some fruits are more rare than others.
This makes it not only the world's first NFT slot machine, but also the first NFT vending machine.

Whether you have won a rare pear or a common banana, you can hit the cash-out button to print the access key to your automatically generated crypto wallet on your physical receipt.
Here comes the dilemma, should you ‘unwrap’ your NFT? If you unwrap your NFT you are entitled to buy the limited edition physical representation of your NFT artwork directly from the artist.
The NFT will still be in your wallet, only with ‘unwrapped’ status.
The slot machine is available for art exhibitions,
NFT events, or other public events.
You can only obtain new NFTs directly from the slot machine. Probably you can buy an existing NFTs from secondary market OpenSea.io
No. You need to prove ownership of an NFT - that is not already unwrapped - to buy the physical artwork. Your physical artwork gets your NFT number and will be signed by Maze de Boer.
Yes. There cannot be minted more than 10.000 NFTs. Every NFT can only be unwrapped once and only until the end of 2024 making the physical artwork also (very) limited.

This means its physical counterpart has been produced. This can only be done once and cannot be undone. Unwrapped NFTs have a dark background.
